  “Program participants are more likely to come from lower-performing public schools prior to entering the program. In addition, they tend to be among the lowest-performing students in their prior school, regardless of the performance level of their public school.”

• UF RESEARCH

  “The typical student participating in the program tended to maintain his or her relative position in comparison with others nationwide. It is important to note that these national comparisons pertain to all students nationally, and not just low-income students.”

• FSU RESEARCH

  “Moreover, [scholarship students] were more likely to come from low performing public schools and less likely to be high performing students in their prior public schools before attending the program. This observation has not changed over time as similar figures were observed in the previous program reports.”
